NASCAR Charity Poker Tournament (Win A Contest to Get In!)

On February 22,  there's going to be a charity poker tournament called the "High Speed Hold'em on the Halifax" that will take place at the luxury hotel, the MG on the Halifax, which is located dear Daytona International Speedway.

It will be hosted by the NASCAR Foundation is will raise money for Speediatrics, which is the pediatric unit at the Halifax Health Medical Center.

In attendance will be NASCAR drivers, celebs, poker pros and NASCAR fans.  Rusty Wallace will be co-hosting the event alongside Betty Jane France.

There are going to be 22 tables and each table is slated to have one celebrity, and either one NASCAR driver or professional poker player.

I did mention a contest to get into the event for free, instead of ponying up the $500 per table fee, right?

"One player will be able to get into the tournament for free through a special drawing being held by the MG on the Halifax. By going online and registering at www.eventsatmgonthehalifax.com, one person and a guest will attend the tournament and the winner of the drawing will be able to play in the event."

A note About NASCAR fans

Yesterday, May 18th, 2007 was NASCAR day. NASCAR.com sells NASCAR day pins for $5 each. These monies go to the NASCAR foundation which supports over 25 different charitable foundations. (To see what charities, visit this link.)

They also conducted a telethon for NASCAR day that saw several media outlets join forces, such as SIRIUS Satellite Radio, SPEED, NASCAR.com and MRN.

The amazing part of this process to me, was that in 12 hours, the telethon raised almost $1.2 million. I am so proud of the fans and organizations that helped contribute to the process.

I'm headed off to www.nascar.com and buying myself a few nascar day pins!!
